Hi,
I've had pain sitting down since November. Since then I've had a pelvic CT with dye, a laparoscopy, my appendix out, my tubes tied, a colonoscopy, a barium enema, and a colon resection for a twist in my colon.
After all of this, I'm still in pain! :(
My doctor says to give it 3 more months to allow the colon to heal completely in case my discomfort is just coming from the surgery.
Sitting causes pain and a burning sensation in the perineum. Also, there is pain in my rectum and occasionally my vaginal area. On some days I can tell that there is swelling in the perineum.
My only real comfort is lying down, sitting in the bath tub, or sitting on a toilet seat. These symptoms sound like the ones I've read about pudendal nerve trouble.
Does anyone have advice?
I live near Memphis, TN and was wondering if there are any doctors in the area with expertise in pudendal nerve pain.
Your help is much appreciated!
Molly
